toward the end of summer those little snapper are between 3/4 pound and 1 1/2 pounds. they'll eat dam near anything you throw at them. we got a spot where they hang for hours at a time. they hide from the bigger blues and stripers that are getting fat for the trip south. we throw tins at them on 4 pound spinning gear and believe me they tear yards off them little reels. you can hook up with a fish on dam near every cast and you'll get tired way before they will. aint much to compare with them for light tackle. we flatten the barbs down on trebles cause they take the whole dam thing in their mouth.
many's the day when snappers or blues have saved the day and provided hours of fun. we even throw them 4 pounders at the bigger boys and go on and fight a 10 pound bruiser on a 4 foot spinner.
not my dream trip and certainly way behind another chance to fish with my dad but some of the best sport you can come by in the northeast.

X2 Snapper Blues are way fun. We've actually taken a nail, driven it thru a can top, added hook and line and caught blues for hours on it. They are not picky eaters... if it's in the water they consider it fair game.

My dream fishing trip would have to be off the coast of the French or Italian Rivieras. Any fish will do...not particular. But there's nothing like the Mediterranean Sea for shear beauty...and the view of the beach is nothing short of spectacular!

(Did I mention that most beaches are topless?)
